| ">   You can make friends in Stumbleupon, or any social media site for that matter, two ways. You can ask someone to be your friend or your friends can come to you.
It is important that you have good content, presented in the first post to this series Secrets To Stumbleupon - Fresh Content. The kind of people who you want to ask are going to check out at least the first page of your Stumbleupon Blog. Make sure that you like it. It is your interpretation of what you really like. If you are seeking other people interested in Social Media, post articles that are mostly about Social Media and not Baseball or some other unrelated niche. You should certainly have checked the green button indicating that you like "Social Media, as well so when you press the Stumble! button you are presented with Social Media sites by Stumbleupon. This is how you build your Stumbleupon "personality".
If you think that you have found a fellow stumbler that is interested in the same topics that you review, along with your own material of course, then use the contact link on their Stumbleupon page and ask them to be your friend. I did this with about 100 Stumblers at first. I then reviews their posts and voted on them as well as showed up on their Stumbleupon page frequently. They noticed I was hanging around and some of them finally reciprocated by making me their friend.
After awhile, you will notice other Stumblers coming and hanging around your Stumbleupon page. People are curious about other people. They are showing your pages so why not reciprocate friendship and make it official? Press your new friends picture at the bottom of your friends page and then press the "Add As Friend" button in the top right hand corner of your new friends Stumbleupon page.
Keep in mind that Stumbleupon only allows 200 friends. Check your friends Stumbleupon page by clicking on their picture under the friends tab occasionally to make sure they are active. If they have not been active for over a month or so, they are not pursuing the main purpose of Stumbleupon, which is many things including friendship, traffic, or maybe just a place to spend your time. When you reach the 200 limit, consider "de-friending" Stumblers who are not presenting material on their Stumbleupon Blog that is in the various topics (keywords) of your Stumbleupon blog. No hard feelings in doing this, some of your friend and you are just not interested in the same things, time to move on. You will find that you will draw solid, related subscribers with good quality content. They will want in your door also and are most likely to stick around and help you meet your goals in Stumbleupon.
The main key to making friends in Stumbleupon is a very simple concept. When anyone reviews your material (distinguished from a vote) or adds you as a friend as mentioned either way in this article, say "thank you". A thank you in Stumbleupon acts just like it does in real life.
Eventually you will get a very tight knit group of Stumbleupon friends all Stumbling on basically the same topic who are willing to take you to the next level of Stumbling, becoming a Stumbleupon Power User, which is going to be the topic of my next post, The Secrets Of Stumbleupon - Becoming A Stumbleupon Power User.
